Research context: Technology and software
When researching a technology business, distinguish the product from its delivery model. Software licensing, subscriptions, services, and hardware can describe different customer relationships even when companies operate in the same broad sector. A short public description rarely establishes the revenue model, the ownership of intellectual property, or the customer base.
Questions for researching Altro

Research context: Retail and consumer businesses

A brand may sell directly, through stores, through wholesale partners, or through several channels. The available founding association does not establish the present channel mix or whether ownership has changed.
Questions for researching GrowthSync
